The Cage Beneath the Store

“Three years ago, Ada was stripped of her Luna title and cast out of Cobalt Ridge, her daughter Ruth kept behind as punishment. Now she rides back into the silver-mining town as a courier with a silver bullet in her boot and a debt to collect. But the Alpha who greets her is not the man who rejected her. He wears Damon's face, speaks in Damon's voice, and rules with a cruelty Damon never had. The pack's real Alpha vanished the same night Ada was exiled, and only a silent black wolf has been seen at the tree line since, watching her. When Ada learns a skinwalker stole a pelt to claim the pack's silver vein, she must decide whether to run with Ruth or fight beside a Beta she does not trust and a wolf she cannot hear. Every full moon, the silent wolf grows stronger. Every full moon, the impostor grows bolder. And somewhere beneath the pack house, the real Damon is waiting for the one woman who can hear him. Place and Time: Cobalt Ridge, a silver-mining town in the Idaho mountains, in the year 1889.”
